Chapter 37 Dao Heart Fist
"How long do you think Yuhao can hold out in this level?"
The Spirit Pagoda of Donghai City.
In a sophisticated room, Sikong Hong stared at a large screen in front of him, where two people were engaged in combat.
One of the children was so handsome that his appearance transcended gender, like a gravitational pull, drawing everyone's attention to him. He was Huo Yuhao, and his opponent was a boy who appeared to be around twelve years old, wielding a golden-patterned dragon-carved staff, with three purple thousand-year soul rings rising from his feet.
"Aren't you too insecure about Huo Yuhao?" The person he was asking was dressed as a chef and looked unremarkable. He was Wu Ge, Sikong Hong's personal chef. The two had a good relationship in private, which was why he was here with him to watch Huo Yuhao's trial.
"After all, Yuhao is only nine years old, and his opponent is the virtual avatar of the Ancient Tower Master from the Third Ring..."
Sikong Hong muttered to himself.
Huo Yuhao was in a virtual space called the Hall of Heroes, which could be entered via a soul-guided mental link device. This was a place specifically used by the Spirit Pagoda disciples to hone their combat skills.
It was initially created by the first Tower Master, who used his unparalleled Soul Master cultivation to build the prototype of the modern Soul Network, all for the purpose of creating the Hall of Heroes.
Here, even if you die, you'll only experience mental weakness for a few days.
After establishing the Hall of Heroes, the first Tower Master, with his immense spiritual power and understanding of certain individuals, created the first generation of virtual opponents for training: the original Shrek Seven Devils, the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago.
However, the first group of elders who experienced it were immediately furious and cursed: "Ling Bing, you bastard! How could they be that strong?! Did you fill in the data with your feet?!"
Then, Lingbing Douluo replied matter-of-factly: "Accept the enemy with leniency. Virtual bodies are not perfect and don't have much intelligence, so what's wrong with adding values?! Besides, I'll add values to you all when I incorporate you in the future."
Sikong Hong had suffered the same fate, being defeated several times by enemies with high stats. However, when fighting against a real person, he could actually win.
Later generations don't know what Lingbing Douluo was thinking, but they still made adjustments. There is a Lingbing Douluo version with added numerical values, which is the "Beyond" difficulty, and there is also a normal numerical version.
They have suffered this hardship, and those who come after them must suffer it too!
As for Huo Yuhao, being such a genius, Sikong Hong naturally arranged for him to be "exceeding" the difficulty level. A sharp sword is forged through tempering, and only in this way can he truly become powerful.
At this point, Sikong Hong's lack of confidence in Huo Yuhao could also be explained. Qian Gu Die Ting had personally admitted that the virtual body's three-ring stats were comparable to his own five-ring stats.
It's important to know that the login data is basically written at the peak of the state. In reality, this virtual Eternal Court also has nine rings of combat experience.
Today, virtual avatars are already highly intelligent!
At the fifth ring, Qian Gu Die Ting's stats were already comparable to many Soul Emperors. Could Huo Yuhao really win?
"No matter what, it's just data. Yuhao has an innate domain, and with the combination of two skills, I think he has a chance to win."
Wu Ge reassured him with full confidence.
Huo Yuhao is suspected of possessing a martial soul innate domain, a mental interference domain, which can even affect Soul Saint Na Juyan.
The first soul skill is an absolute divine skill—spiritual detection sharing.
The second soul skill, infamous, is simulation.
Although he may not seem to have any offensive methods, Huo Yuhao's physical body is already at the Soul Master level or above, and can even be compared to the Soul Sect!
"No matter what, let's keep watching."
Sikong Hong said in a low voice.
Although the Spirit Eye is a super spirit-type martial soul, it has too few attack methods in the early stages, unless Huo Yuhao has a second martial soul.
He didn't expect Huo Yuhao to achieve any spectacular results. After all, the difference between a three-ring cultivator and an actual five-ring cultivator was simply too great. Even in the Spirit Pagoda's database, Qian Gu Die Ting was an extremely powerful virtual opponent!
For some reason, Huo Yuhao was randomly assigned to this person.
Inside the Hall of Heroes.
Qian Gu Die Ting held the Panlong Staff, exuding a majestic and imposing aura. With the three purple soul rings surrounding him, he truly possessed the aura of a warrior who fought against heaven and earth at the peak of his Douluo career.
Even Huo Yuhao dared not be careless in the face of this opponent; his current soul skills...
To defeat your opponent, then—
The second purple ring beneath both players' feet lit up simultaneously!
The dragon spirit on the coiled dragon staff seemed to awaken, and the staff instantly grew larger, expanded, extended, and swept over violently. Like a long sword, like a line between heaven and earth, it cut, crushed, and dominated!
Second Soul Skill: Thousand-Pound Slash!
This is a skill from the soul of the Thousand-Pound Ant King.
Although the Qian Gu family has always pursued the true dragon soul spirit because of the dragon soul of the Panlong Staff, it does not mean that they must use the dragon seed soul spirit.
Once, Qian Gu Die Ting's father approached the then-Emperor Tian, hoping he could help find a dragon spirit willing to merge with Qian Gu Die Ting, in order to activate the dragon soul power residing on the Panlong Staff.
What happened afterward is unknown, but the soul that Qian Gu Die Ting ultimately chose was this terrifyingly powerful Thousand-Pound Ant.
If he were here in person, then those first few soul rings would definitely be crimson blood-red! Moreover, they would be accompanied by a true 100,000-year-old soul spirit, the Thousand-Pound Ant King!
The legacy of a top-tier family, a soul passed down for 100,000 years!
The characteristic of this soul skill is very simple: it is sharpness and absolute power!
Even if it's only one percent of the power unleashed by Zhan Tian Douluo himself, this thousand-year soul skill, this attack from the incredibly difficult Eternal Resting Virtual Body, is something even a Soul King wouldn't dare to take head-on.
A top-tier martial soul paired with a top-tier soul spirit produces a top-tier soul skill, the power of which most Soul Kings' fifth soul skill might not even have.
Sikong Hong, who was watching from the outside, changed his expression slightly. The numerical bonus was so outrageous?! Would Yuhao be alright? He was even planning to force Huo Yuhao out of the game.
"Let's take another look."
This is Huo Yuhao's training. Anyway, he's not really going to die. He calmed down. Otherwise, how could Huo Yuhao's combat skills be improved?
The Dragon-Shattering Staff with a Thousand-Pound Slash!
Faced with this terrifying power, Huo Yuhao responded by activating his second soul skill – Simulation!
It was as if there was a computer in his brain that could simulate and calculate everything in the universe, knowing all the opponent's movements and all kinds of changes.
This is a simulated divine skill completed by combining the power of fate and the power of time and space. He has seen all of Qian Gu Die Ting's movements and knows the weakest point of the Panlong Staff.
"The laws of victory have been established!"
Then, with a single step, his entire demeanor changed abruptly, his body enveloped in a layer of light, and he unleashed a punch!
In an instant, Sikong Hong and Wu Ge, who were watching the battle, were stunned.
What is that? Is it the ultimate simplification?
This punch was simple and direct, without any fancy moves or dazzling effects. In front of the huge dragon-shaped staff, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Visually, Huo Yuhao's fist had somehow turned jade-colored, crystal clear, like a piece of jade. When he threw a punch, a slight resonance sound appeared in the air.
As a veteran Title Douluo, Sikong Hong realized that this was not a soul skill, and Huo Yuhao definitely did not use this soul skill just now.
This punch is a unique technique I created myself!
So-called self-created combat skills are special combat skills that are not bound by martial spirits or limited by soul skills, and can be passed down, becoming the foundation of a family.
Creating one's own unique skills often involves integrating one's understanding of martial spirit, soul power, blood and qi, spiritual power, and even one's will and emotions into a combat technique that is most suitable for oneself. The same unique skill will produce different results, different forms, and even different powers for each person.
Like Mu En, the once-famous Dragon God Douluo of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, whose ultimate skills were recorded in the tower, making him a ruler of the world.
As for Dragon God Douluo's own successors, they were all of varying abilities, and none of them had grasped the essence of the "Ruling the World" technique. This was not because he was being secretive—even his descendants could not use the "Ruling the World" technique to its fullest extent.
The reason why Shrek Academy did not have this unique skill, but instead it was obtained by the Spirit Pagoda, is that Sikong Hong still remembers that, according to the description of the Emperor Heaven Pagoda Master, the first Pagoda Master at that time seemed to be a Soul Douluo, and for some reason he fought a great battle with the Dragon God Douluo.
According to rumors, Shrek Academy wanted to capture Lingbing Douluo and brainwash him into joining their ranks. However, the result was that Dragon God Douluo suffered a crushing defeat and died on the third day.
Shrek Academy has been refuting this rumor, issuing a serious statement that it is the evil Spirit Tower that is spreading false information about them and smearing their ancestors.
The Spirit Pagoda, on the other hand, believes that the older generation like Yan Shaozhe don't count. People like the Divine Dragon Douluo and Butterfly Goddess couldn't grasp the essence because their backbones were broken, and they lost the aura of ruling the world.
Regardless of the circumstances, creating one's own combat techniques is a path that even titled powerhouses will gradually explore.
It's something that belongs to the title-level category.
The Unyielding Staff Technique of the Eternal Clan of the Spirit Pagoda, the Crimson Dragon Nine Styles of the Crimson Dragon Douluo, and the Sky-Supporting Spear Technique of the Sky-Supporting Douluo of Shrek Academy all belong to this category, the difference being the different things incorporated into them.
How old is he, and how profound is his cultivation? He has already touched upon such a field... A new generation replaces the old!
boom!
The fist and the stick collided. Qian Gu Die Ting took several steps back, while Huo Yu Hao narrowed his eyes and stood still, his body trembling slightly from the power attached to the Panlong Stick.
have equal shares!
Sikong Hong breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Thank goodness, if he had actually defeated the old tower master's virtual illusion with a single punch, his Dao heart would have been shattered.
Wu Ge was also shocked, but compared to Sikong Hong, who was always lazy, even though he wasn't a Title Douluo, he quickly figured out the reason. "Exceeding the difficulty level increases stats and intelligence, but those stats are added to attack, defense, and speed. This virtual Zhan Tian Mianxia is ultimately only a three-ring Soul Master; his Soul Power stat won't exceed that value. If this move was a test, this result is normal. Next, Zhan Tian Mianxia should get serious!"
The words were spoken.
In the Hall of Heroes, Qian Gu Die Ting's expression turned serious. He activated his second spirit ring once again. This time, he wouldn't hold back. Detecting that his opponent was too strong, he was going to go all out.
A powerful aura erupted from him, as if his fighting spirit had materialized, and the Panlong Staff emitted a white light.
Huo Yuhao carefully recalled the moment of their collision. He could clearly feel a strong will coming from the Panlong Staff of the Ancient Dynasty, a powerful aura that seemed to want to crush him, full of unyielding stubbornness and pride.
Is this the Unyielding Stick Technique?
This wasn't just a psychological attack; it was a battle will forged through countless trials! Unyielding, unyielding—no wonder the original timeline did these things. If they had yielded, they would have had no future!
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sure enough, no one can succeed easily. The ancient family has been able to stand firm for so long because it has a powerful lineage.
This strike showcases the true skill of the ancient Dieting Dynasty!
Although he didn't use any of the Nine Unyielding Forms, he was able to freely imbue his attacks with the essence of the art, which already demonstrated his mastery of the Unyielding Staff Technique.
He was somewhat excited, and he had many more tricks up his sleeve that he wanted to try!
As a competent human-machine, Qian Gu Die Ting did not hesitate and swung the dragon staff down again with a bang.
The third spirit ring flashed, unleashing immense power!
A tremendous force surged into his body, and the Coiled Dragon Staff, enveloped in a layer of white light, rapidly grew larger. No, it was using some kind of momentum to make people feel that the Coiled Dragon Staff was growing larger.
A force as powerful as if it were creating the world, seemingly about to shatter the entire world.
The swung dragon staff gave off an indescribable sense of terror. Wherever it passed, the air distorted, and fine spatial cracks appeared in the afterimages left by the staff, as if space itself could no longer contain its existence.
This strike was absolutely remarkable, a perfect blend of spirit, energy, and skill, clearly demonstrating a mastery of the essence of the staff—a unique understanding that belonged solely to Qian Gu Die Ting.
Damn it! Sikong Hong cursed inwardly. That's the only downside. With the old tower master's information, this virtual body is naturally equipped with the intent of the staff. In the end, the "staff soul" might even be used.
Moreover, isn't this "fighting against heaven and earth" something that only a titled Douluo of the ancient family can comprehend? How can someone surpass the difficulty level and even use this ahead of time?
What the hell is that?!
This is no ordinary situation, but it also shows that Huo Yuhao put a lot of pressure on the virtual body.
Sikong Hong had already walked to the emergency ejection device and was ready to press the button.
Inside the Hall of Heroes.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, crossed his hands in front of him to protect himself, and his spirit was further enhanced. His essence, energy, and spirit were unified. This was the fist intent of the three realms of intention, soul, and spirit!
Huo Yuhao actually comprehended the essence of fist techniques? What other tricks does he have up his sleeve? How many more surprises does he have in store for us?
If the mind is firm, the Tao is invincible.
Silently chanting the incantation, Huo Yuhao forcefully withstood the terrifying battle against heaven and earth, and the result was that his arm was only slightly red.
Sikong Hong was dumbfounded. Not to mention him, even Wu Ge, who was weaker, had already knelt down. Was this kid even human?
That's the first move of the Unyielding Staff Technique!
The essence of the Panlong Staff lies in its indomitable spirit! It embodies the spirit of an indomitable soul that looks down upon heaven and earth, and uses one's own strength to fight against heaven and earth. The ultimate meaning of the Panlong Staff is to break through the laws and look down upon the sky.
Therefore, the word "break" is the most important profound meaning in this indomitable spirit. After thousands of years of inheritance and dozens of generations of summarization and refinement, this set of indomitable staff techniques gradually came into being. In the Qian Gu family, this set of staff techniques can only be comprehended by those who have reached the level of Title Douluo or above.
Because once you start practicing the Unyielding Staff Technique, it's like going against the heavens and earth. You'll be under immense pressure, but every time you break free from those constraints, you'll make tremendous, leapfrog progress.
The Unyielding Staff Technique has nine forms in total. Even the current patriarch of the Qian Gu family, Qian Gu Dongfeng, has only mastered the eighth form. The ninth form has never been mastered in the history of the Qian Gu family; it only exists in theory and is known as the form that leads to godhood through breaking through barriers.
But regardless, the Unyielding Staff Technique is renowned throughout the world for its ability to break through defenses. Today, such a high score only resulted in Huo Yuhao having "a slightly dirty hem of his clothes"? What kind of physique does he have? Or is it another combat technique?
Yes, it's self-created combat techniques.
This set of boxing techniques is called Dao Xin Quan (Dao Xin Boxing). Its mantra is: "If the heart is firm, the Dao is invincible; if the heart is sharp, the Dao begins to slay gods; if the heart is angry, the Dao sea ignites flames; if the heart is filled with hatred, the Dao overturns the heavens; if the heart is pure as ice, heaven and man are one..."
This is a martial arts technique independently created by Huo Yuhao. Although the incantation is fancy, it can be summarized in one sentence: Heart Essence!
As long as you believe, there is power. While it draws some inspiration from "The Emperor's Reign," Huo Yuhao solemnly declares that these are two different systems.
The "Ruling the World" technique influences the spirit of others, while the "Dao Xin Quan" technique requires Huo Yuhao to firmly believe in himself, to fight against everything with his spirit, to transform spiritual power into reality, and to make the spiritual system less rigid.
Huo Yuhao assumed the stance of the Bengquan (Crushing Fist) and seized the opportunity during the pause of Qian Gu Die Ting (Eternal Restless Time) to grab him. He then pushed his right palm into his chest—the Fierce Tiger Climbs the Mountain!
Then, he disappeared from this space.
"Challenger Huo Yuhao wins."
A mechanical voice also rang out at that moment.
…………
"Holy crap! Yuhao, you really defeated the old tower master?"
As Huo Yuhao walked out of the device, Sikong Hong excitedly stepped forward and couldn't help but swear.
"That's..."
Huo Yuhao had no choice but to deal with Sikong Hong. He could understand that it was normal for Sikong Hong to have doubts about life after seeing his performance.
